2. In which film was there a 'werewolf break'.

3. Which Hammer starlet was the Lamb's Navy Rum girl?

4. Which Hammer leading man of later productions starred in a successful BBC sitcom in the 1980s?

5. Synopsis: A surgeon carries out horrific murders to help him with restoring his fiancee's beauty. What was the film?

6. Which Hammer film was based on a story by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu?

7. In which film did a group of four people investigate a haunted house? Hints: There are connections to Planet of the Apes and The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie.

8. In which film did the character 'Johnny Alucard' play an important role?
